So now I will tell you the (A)truth. Behold, three more kings are going to stand [a]in Persia. Then a fourth will gain far more riches than all of them; as soon as he becomes strong through his riches, [b]he will arouse the whole empire against the kingdom of [c](B)Greece. And a (C)mighty king will stand, and he will [d]dominate with great [e]domination and (D)do as he pleases. But as soon as he stands, his kingdom will be broken up and parceled out (E)toward the (F)four winds of [f]heaven, but not to his own descendants, nor according to his [g]domination with which he [h]dominated, for his kingdom will be (G)uprooted and given to others besides [i]them.

But at the height of his power, his kingdom will be broken apart and divided into four parts. It will not be ruled by the king’s descendants, nor will the kingdom hold the authority it once had. For his empire will be uprooted and given to others.
